We can write the balanced equation for the synthesis reaction as
H2(g) + Cl2(g) → 2HCl(g)
We use the molar masses of hydrogen chloride gas HCl and hydrogen gas H2 to calculate for the mass of hydrogen gas H2 needed:
mass of H2 = 146.4 g HCl *(1 mol HCl / 36.46 g HCl) * (1 mol H2 / 2 mol HCl) *
(2.02 g H2 / 1 mol H2)
= 4.056 g H2
We also use the molar masses of hydrogen chloride gas HCl and chlorine gas CL2 to calculate for the mass of hydrogen gas H2:
mass of CL2 = 146.4 g HCl *(1 mol HCl / 36.46 g HCl) * (1 mol Cl2 / 2 mol HCl) *
(70.91 g Cl2 / 1 mol Cl2)
= 142.4 g Cl2
Therefore, we need 4.056 grams of hydrogen gas and 142.4 grams of chlorine gas to produce 146.4 grams of hydrogen chloride gas.
Answer:
The ΔHrxn for the above equation = 179 kJ/mol
Explanation:
The reaction bond enthalpies are for the reactant;
3 × N-H = 3 × 390 = 1,170 kJ/mol
2 × O=O = 2 × 502 = 1004 kJ/mol
The reaction bond enthalpies are for the product;
3 × N-O = 3 × 201 = 603 kJ/mol
3 × O-H = 3 × 464 = 1,392 kJ/mol
The ΔHrxn for the above equation is therefore;
ΔHrxn = 1,170 + 1,004 - (603 + 1,392) = 179 kJ/mol
You spell Chlorine wrong but the process is called electrolysis
The reactants are the substances on the left side, which react and give the products on the right side.
The reactants are Fe and O.
The product is Fe2O3.
The arrow to the right means that the reaction is going in only one direction — the only reaction happening at the moment is that Fe and O are making Fe2O3.
(s) means the substance is in the solid state, and (g) means in a gaseous state (or the substance is a gas in that reaction).
